Chapter 083: Seafood Feast
Luo Deng quickly broke away from his depressed mood, and said with a grin: "Cheng, I, Tsering Luo Deng, make you a friend, and if we have the opportunity, we can exchange cooking skills and learn from each other in private!" As he spoke, the hand was about to pat Lin Xia's shoulder, but was quickly grabbed by Lei Biao.
"Hey, hey, why are you so strong, let go quickly, let go, I'm killing my master!" Loden cried out in pain, he just wanted to pat Lin Xia on the shoulder as a gesture of friendship.
"Don't move your hands and feet." Lei Biao said coldly and shook his hand away.
Luo Deng stared at Lei Biao sadly, pitifully touched the wrist that had just been caught, and found that the wrist had a faint layer of blue and purple, you can imagine how much strength this person used, and muttered in his mouth: "Why did this sister Xia marry such a rude man......"
Lei Biao's martial arts were in the upper echelons, and Luo Deng's little complaint was also heard in his ears, but he didn't say anything and let him say it.
Lin Xia smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my husband is more protective of me." He said he was embarrassed, but the expression on his face was triumphant, and he couldn't see that he was embarrassed.
Luo Deng snorted arrogantly, and said magnificently: "Master, I don't care about him!" ”
Tsering Nyima did not forget the Yalinju represented by Lin Xia, and asked curiously: "Does Yalinju have a restaurant in Yaohai City?" It seems that in the crowd, Yalinju is still quite famous, and this taste must be passable. ”
Lin Xiawan smiled and said, "When Yalin Ju opens in Yaohai City, please invite the two of you to cheer up." ”
Tsering Nyima and Loden suddenly turned overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, "No problem." ”
A mutton skewer cooking competition ended, Lin Xia asked Zheng Lu to grill all the mutton into skewers, and left some for Luo Deng before leaving, and the rest of the group walked on the road to eat while walking, the aroma of others swallowed saliva faintly, and some of the bold ones also stepped forward to ask where to buy mutton skewers, but unfortunately they made it themselves and did not sell it to the public.
During this period of time, Lei Biao and Lin Xia sometimes took a group of people from Lei Mansion to go to Saiwai Beef and Sheep to taste the taste, and by the way, they walked around with Tsering Nyima and Luo Deng, and sometimes Lin Xia made fruit smoothies or juices for summer, and would invite Tsering Nyima and Luo Deng to come and taste them.
I have to say that Lin Xia likes to deal with these two people very much, because outsiders speak directly, there are not so many curves, compared to those partners, which ones do not turn a few corners to speak, and always have to raise their spirits to deal with people, so as not to be bypassed and fall into the trap of others.
A few days later, Lin Xia specially asked people to go to sea to salvage seafood, and the boatman always remembered Lin Xia's request, no matter what she fished from the sea, she Lin Xia wanted everything.
When he went to the beach to collect seafood, Lin Xia was excited like a child, "Ahhhh......h What a gain! Quick, husband, reward those boatmen with more money, and let them rest for a while and continue to go to sea and continue fishing, I want them all! ”
Except for Lei Biao, who was calm and abnormal, the rest of the people looked at Lin Xia with inexplicable expressions, one of the boatmen was still a little depressed, in addition to these, they also caught some sea fish, but this Lin Xia didn't seem to have the slightest interest in sea fish, but looked at the sticky things with several legs in the frame and was very excited, but after receiving twice as much silver as before, the boatman had no opinion.
Shisu, who was following beside him, poked out his head and glanced at the living thing in the frame, only to feel that it looked strange and disgusting, and asked timidly, "Madam, what are you doing here?" ”
Lin Xia glanced at the perilla, the perilla was brought up by Agarwood from the maid two days ago to serve by her side, she is very talented in cooking, she can basically teach it once, Agarwood also taught some simple pharmacology to make some medicinal dishes, and she also learned it quickly, so she was favored by Agarwood.
"These are for food!" Lin Xia replied.
Shisu's face suddenly turned bad, and he looked incredulous, and pointed at the squid and squid in the frame with a trembling hand and said, "This, how can you eat this!" ”
When the words fell, the cuttlefish sprayed a basket of ink, and the frightened Shiso quickly shrank behind Lin Xia, "Madam, that thing is poisonous!" ”
"Poof-shiso, do you want to be so cute, it's just cuttlefish juice, that cuttlefish juice can be made into seafood risotto or pasta, it tastes good!" Lin Xia said with a smile.
Seeing that the people around her looked at her silently, her eyes were indescribable, as if to say if she Lin Xia was stupid, this black juice could still be eaten, and they couldn't accept it.
Lin Xia only glanced at him, and said with a big heart, "Hurry up and move the things to the kitchen of the mansion for me, and I'll show you a good hand today, and see my Chef Lin's skills!" ”
When all the seafood was moved to the kitchen of Lei Mansion, Luo Deng followed with great interest, and just now when he was shopping on the street, he saw Lei Biao and Lin Xia's carriage, and there were several buckets of live seafood on the back cart, and a squid crawled along the water tank to the mouth of the tank, fortunately it was covered with a fishing net, so it didn't climb out, but the squid leg swayed through the small hole in the fishing net, which scared the young lady and the maid who passed by.
At this look, Luo Deng pondered that Lei Biao and Lin Xia had said that they had let people catch seafood, and now it should have just been harvested, and it must be delicious, so he hurriedly followed.
The screams on the street came and went, and the kitchen was not inferior, Zi Su was now following Lin Xia's side, learning by the way, and making food for them in the future, but this slimy squid wrapped around Lin Xia's arm, scaring her half to death, and hurriedly exchanged for Lei Zhong's help.
Lin Xia looked at Zisu speechlessly, and the scream almost broke through her eardrums, "I said Zisu, can you calm down, learn more from Agarwood, and learn from her without being surprised." ”
Zi Su looked at Lin Xia timidly and nodded, but his face was still pale, and he replied in a low voice: "Yes, madam." ”
Lin Xia shook his head helplessly, and while handling the cuttlefish, he explained to Shisu and others, "Because this thing will squirt ink, it is called squid or cuttlefish, we first cut it from the abdomen, take off the internal organs and whiskers, clean the mucus on the inner surface, tear off the internal organs on the whiskers, and remove the hard shells of the eyes and mouth to wash them, and then start to cut them into pieces and cut them with a criss-cross flower knife." ”
Lin Xia did his best to explain to them what their names were, how to deal with them, and how to cook.
Everyone also gradually accepted from the initial fear, it is nothing more than a living thing, and it hangs up after a one-size-fits-all cut, and it is up to you to deal with it, although you don't know what the taste is.
When the plates of seafood came out of the pot and served on the table, everyone was extremely curious and stared at the food on the table.
"This is fried cuttlefish with green onions, stir-fried cuttlefish fillet with cauliflower, cold seaweed, braised sea cucumber, pan-fried sardines, ginger shredded sea crab, steamed sea fish, squid whiskers and sweet and spicy squid in sauce, plus a kelp pork rib soup, a whole seafood feast." Lin Xia introduced it to everyone one by one.
Except for a kelp pork rib soup, the rest have never heard of, and I don't know how to put down the chopsticks for a while, it can be seen that Lin Xia eats with relish, and Lei Biao is also holding the food on the plate without changing color, and it is obvious that Lei Biao's face is a little surprised, so he dropped the chopsticks one after another.
Shiso, who has a great shadow on the squid, sandwiched a piece of green onion and fried cuttlefish into his mouth and chewed it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "I didn't expect that squid to look bad, but it tastes so good and is very chewy." ”
"Ahh
Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and it was Loden, who came to join in the fun, holding the orange-red crab in his hand and touching his cheek in mourning.
Loden threw the crab angrily, "This thing is so hard, it's about to knock my teeth out, how can you eat this?" ”
Lin Xia shook his head slightly and sighed, and patiently explained, "You take apart the shell and meat, don't eat the shell, just take apart the rest of the shell, bite the shell and eat the crab meat inside." ”
Luo Deng followed Lin Xia's statement and finally ate the crab meat in the crab, his face looked slightly better, and he complained while eating, "There are too many crab shells, but this crab meat tastes really good." ”
Hearing this, everyone also learned from Loden and began to eat crabs.
After being full, Lin Xia looked at everyone with a smile, "What do you think of the taste of these seafood?" ”
"It's much better than the seafood in the Pool."
"It's fresh, I've never eaten anything like this before."
"It tastes good, it's the first time I've eaten it."
"If you go out for takeout, business must be very good." Zhang Cai pondered.
As the words fell, everyone nodded in agreement, and Luo Deng added, "I've been in Yaohai City for two years, and I haven't seen anyone eat these seafoods. ”
The corners of Lin Xia's mouth pursed slightly, drawing a beautiful arc, "Qian Dong, go and contact a few more fleets to go to sea to fish, Zhang Cai, choose a shop close to the coast." ”
Everyone's faces were overjoyed, "Madam, are you going to open a new restaurant in Yaohai City?" ”
"Of course, you all said it was delicious!" Lin Xia said with a smile.
I saw Luo Deng shaking his head slightly and sighing, "Fortunately, you didn't open a cattle and sheep shop, otherwise the business of my old man's shop would definitely be robbed by you." ”
Lin Xia was amused by these words and laughed, "Luo Deng, your words are too polite, but I don't plan to open a cattle and sheep shop, you have a large group of cattle and sheep, which are inexhaustible, and there are not many people in the Wu Dynasty who breed cattle and sheep, so I can't open it if I want to." ”
Loden laughed twice, "yes, I forgot about that." ”
After dinner, Lin Xia made a few more detailed requests to the seafood restaurant, and asked them to build an ice cellar in the kitchen in the backyard, worried that the seafood would be caught too much, and the ice cellar would be needed to preserve the freshness.
Suddenly, the people in the Lei Mansion began to hurry.
Lei Biao and Lin Xia are still the same hands-off shopkeeper as always, Lin Xia has a little time to point out the chef who is going to be the chef of the new restaurant, Lei Biao is to train everyone's skills, and the rest of the time is to coax Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er to teach them to call them daddy and mother, and the days go by very quickly.
